I'm excited about this one. Mended a small hole in my jeans using a Speedweve pocket loom I got a couple years ago. It's not perfect, but it works, and I have ideas about how to do better next time. Not bad for a first go.
What are your favorite books on repairing things? What about books on making things?
As the internet gets filled with AI slop I've been putting together a personal library for friends and neighbors.
I have a book on bike repair, two books related to making, altering, and mending clothes, a book on home repairs, a book about electronics, and the book I used to study for my Ham radio exam.

I did some mending yesterday.
I had 3hrs, thought it'd be 4hrs, of meetings. But I mostly just needed to respond in voice, not take any notes or so. So listening and mending at the same time was actually incredibly calming!
I'm still going to do more reinforcement.
What a cool sashiko design, and I feel like it would also not take forever. A YouTube short, so not the best, but it's a pretty cool technique, also with the good tips of that specific raw edge treatment and turning the needle!

Done! Messy but will keep all those holes from getting bigger at least! #mending #visiblemigration

These pyjama bottoms are super comfortable but getting threadbare and holey. The stretchiness in them has also snagged so much they now drag on the floor! I was originally going to cut off that excess at the ankles and use it to patch the holes, but I decided as I like them so much to use that fabric instead to give the a POCKETS upgrade and do visible embroidery on the holes instead - stars probably. #mending #pockets.
Let’s see how this goes.
There are quite a lot of holes - non zero chance that I miss one! #mending

If you need a fix for your beloved belongings, I’ll mend socks, sew holes, shorten garments to the right length, and more.
In exchange, I accept vegan food — fruits, veggies, grains, and other plant‑based goodies. Food stores' gift cards are also ok.
You text me, drop off your items on Leppävaara or Myyrmäki and I’ll have them ready for you soon.
Hand over your worn‑out items for repair, and you’ll be supporting a disabled non‑binary migrant who’s been let down by Kela.
